1968 Map of Wheeling

Rail transport is deeply integrated into the landscape, with the Baltimore & Ohio RR and Conrail lines serving the coal mines and factories that fueled the local economy. In the residential heights of Woodsdale and Fulton, numerous parochial and private institutions are visible, including the Mt de Chantal Academy and Wheeling College. These features, alongside local landmarks like Gregg Cem and the Stone Church, document the community’s mid-20th-century social and industrial footprint.
